HAMPSHIRE Police are seeking help to find the family of a man whose only known next of kin live, or lived, in Rochdale.

Bernard Cook died, aged 60, in the Enham Alamein Institute for the Disabled in Andover on Friday.

Paperwork discovered by police officers listed a Mrs M Botworth of Hurstead as his next of kin but when Rochdale police visited the address they found no trace of Mrs Botworth. Paperwork also mentions a sister, Beryl, but gives no address.

If anyone can help Hampshire police with the whereabouts of Mrs Botworth, Beryl or background on Mr Cook should ring Sergeant Dave Phillips or PC John McDonald on 01256 405302.
